Candlelight vigil held for victim of Thornton shooting

A picture of Phillip Crow, second from left, is taped to a memorial for the 18-year-old during a vigil in Thornton on Wednesday, March 28, 20123. Crow was shot and killed in Thornton on Monday, March 26, 2012.

Phillip Crow will never get to meet his child. He will never get to go to college. He will never be able to vote. Crow, 18, a soon-to-be father, a competitive athlete and an all-around "good kid," was shot and killed Monday afternoon while standing on a sidewalk in Thornton, talking with some friends.

Since then, an around-the-clock station has been set up at the site of Crow's murder on the 8000 block of West Stockton Street. Roughly 20 people have guarded the site at all hours, family friend Jennifer Alvarado said, keeping watch and praying.
